How To Install libmikmatch-ocaml-dev on Kali Linux
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install libmikmatch-ocaml-dev on Kali Linux.
What is libmikmatch-ocaml-dev
libmikmatch-ocaml-dev is:
Mikmatch provides enhanced pattern matching with regexps for OCaml.
The goal of Mikmatch is to make text-oriented programs even easier to write, read and run without losing the unique and powerful features of OCaml. Mikmatch provides a concise and highly readable syntax for regular expressions, and integrates it into the syntax of OCaml thanks to Camlp4.
The implementation of Mikmatch consists essentially of:
- a library which is loaded by the OCaml preprocessor (Camlp4) and defines sophisticated “macros”, i.e. the modified syntax;
- a traditional library (runtime) which is required by the programs that use the Mikmatch syntax;
- a dedicated ‘mikmatch’ command which can be used as a replacement for ‘ocaml’ in scripts or as an interactive toplevel. It performs automatically these steps: preprocessing, compilation and execution.
This package contains the development files needed for programming with the library.
